Where Can an NRI File for or Defend a Divorce?
The cornerstone of any NRI divorce case is jurisdiction. Indian courts take into account things like where the couple was married, where they last lived together, and where they currently reside. Indian courts typically have the authority to hear the case if the marriage took place there or if one of the spouses resides there at the moment.
Before offering advice on where to file for divorce, attorney Sagar Sharma thoroughly considers each case. This helps his clients proceed without legal hiccups and prevents objections pertaining to jurisdiction later.
Court Summons: How to Serve or Receive Them Abroad
In an NRI divorce, proper service of court summons is critical. Indian courts require the petitioner to serve summons through approved methods such as:
- Indian embassies or consulates
- Registered post with acknowledgment
- Court-approved electronic communication
Mistakes in serving summons can delay the case or lead to dismissal. Advocate Sagar Sharma ensures correct delivery of summons and assists NRIs who need to respond promptly and legally from abroad.
Ex Parte Divorce: Risks and Realities
When one party fails to appear or respond to court summons, the court may proceed with an ex parte divorce. While this can speed up the process for the petitioner, it carries significant legal risks. For example, a foreign court may not recognize an ex parte Indian divorce decree, especially if it breaches local laws or fairness standards.
Advocate Sagar Sharma advises his NRI clients to respond properly and participate in proceedings. If needed, he also helps file appeals against unjust ex parte decrees, ensuring his clients protect their legal rights globally.
